Centrifugal pumps and booster pumps are both centrifugal pumps, but they have obvious differences in terms of working principle, application fields and performance characteristics. First of all, a centrifugal pump is a common kinetic energy pump, which uses centrifugal force to suck liquid from the center and obtain kinetic energy through the rotational movement of the rotor, then converts the kinetic energy into pressure energy, and finally discharges the liquid from the outlet of the pump. It is widely used in water supply, drainage, cooling cycle, fire protection system and other fields.
In contrast, a booster pump is a special type of centrifugal pump whose main function is to increase the pressure of the fluid in order to provide a higher pressure in the system. Booster pumps usually play the role of boosting and increasing flow during liquid delivery to meet specific process or engineering requirements. It is widely used in industry, construction, agriculture and other fields. Common application scenarios include water boosting, process boosting, circulation system boosting, etc.
In addition, centrifugal pumps and booster pumps are also different in structure. In general, booster pumps have a smaller outlet diameter and a larger inlet diameter to facilitate increasing the pressure. The inlet and outlet diameters of centrifugal pumps are relatively consistent, and are mainly used to transport liquids.
Generally speaking, centrifugal pumps are mainly used for liquid transportation and circulation, and their function is to increase the kinetic energy of liquids, while booster pumps are mainly used to increase the pressure of liquids to meet specific process and engineering needs. They have their own unique application advantages in different fields, and play an important role in the smooth progress of engineering and production processes. In the actual selection, the appropriate pump type should be selected according to the specific needs and working conditions to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the pump.
